China's first lawsuit against telecom caller ID infringement was rejected on the spot

August 27, 2004

In a poll conducted by Yunnan TV Station, 90% of viewers did not believe that caller ID does not violate privacy.

Xinhua News Agency, Kunming, August 27th (Reporter Chen Peng from Xinhua Viewpoint) The first case in the country's case against the caller ID of telecommunications has resulted in the first trial. The People's Court of Panlong District, Kunming recently issued a verdict on the plaintiff's request for the defendant to bear liability for tort. Without support, the plaintiff's claim was rejected on the spot.

On August 14, the "Xinhua Viewpoint" column of the Xinhua News Agency broadcast "Does Caller ID violate privacy?" The first draft of the nation s first lawsuit against the caller ID infringement case, which reported that Wang Weining, a lawyer in a law firm in Kunming, sued Kunming Telecom to the court, arguing that a basic function of telecommunication services, caller ID, violated his The right to privacy requires the defendant to be held responsible for infringement and to enjoy the right to use and control the telephone number. The telecommunication company cannot display the telephone number to others without consent. After the manuscript was issued, it attracted the attention of many media in the country and caused widespread discussion.

The court in Panlong District, Kunming, who accepted the case, concluded that: the plaintiff enjoyed the right to use and control the number; according to the relevant provisions of the Regulations on the Protection of Consumers' Rights and Interests of Yunnan Province: Except as otherwise provided by laws and regulations, the operator did not With the consent of consumers, personal information of consumers must not be disclosed to third parties for any reason. Among them, personal information includes contact information. Therefore, Wang Weining has the right to privacy over the phone number.

However, the court held that China's legal circles generally attribute the right of privacy to the right of reputation, and have clear regulations on infringement of the right to reputation, that is, there must be a certain way and influence must be made to constitute infringement. In this case, the plaintiff was unable to provide concrete evidence of the consequences of "Caller ID infringement". At the same time, "Caller ID" is to better achieve communication and meet the needs of public interest. On the principle of personal interest, the plaintiff Wang Weining sued the telecommunications company for infringement, and the court did not support it.

The court issued a verdict accordingly: Wang Weining's claim was rejected.

Wang Weining seemed quite calm about this result. He believes that the court has determined two obvious facts on the spot-that the plaintiff has the right to use and control the phone number, and that the plaintiff has the right to privacy of the phone number. Since they enjoy these two rights, the user has the right to ask the defendant to stop the damage. He said he would continue his appeal.

Song Di, a civil law expert at the Law School of Yunnan University, believes that although he has a negative attitude toward the court's confirmation of the right to privacy, the social significance of the case goes far beyond the case itself. The right of use and domination confirmed by the court not only reminded telecommunications users how to treat their phone numbers, but also provided some judicial basis for how consumers can exercise and defend their rights; while Wang Weining s truthfulness is to promote the legal construction of public services It has positive significance, but its defeated case just warns citizens to use litigation rights correctly to avoid abuse.

Caller ID violates privacy? China's first lawsuit against caller ID infringement

Exciting excerpts from netizens' speeches:

Xinhua netizen: In 1992, I went to Qingdao via Zhengzhou for a business trip. I asked a working friend in Zhengzhou to buy a ticket for Qingdao. Due to the two exits of Zhengzhou Station, my friend and I were unable to meet at the station. The ticket was on the second afternoon and Sunday was the next day. How to do? In a hurry, I called number 114 and found the phone number of the friend's house. So we met smoothly the next day and I got my ticket. In 2000, I went to Changsha for a business trip, and thought of an old classmate I hadn't seen in 25 years in Changsha. But he hasn't contacted for more than 20 years, and he doesn't know where the old classmate is and where he lives. I tried my tricks again, but this time it didn't work-the check-in desk asked: Which street or lane do you want to live in? I said: I don't know! The search counter said: Then we can't provide it to you. We are responsible for the privacy of our customers. As a result, another 4 years have passed, and I still can't see the old classmate. I don't understand: a phone number is linked to personal privacy. Except for the fact that the owner of this phone number for personal reasons (such as the lawyer did not want to take the case over a home phone) specifically told the telecommunications bureau to say, "Don't tell my number to others", the telecommunications bureau provides such services Not for better service?

Xinhua netizens: If caller ID is an improvement in technology, then protecting human rights (at least having this awareness and putting it into action) is an improvement in social civilization! The progress of human civilization has been "sacrificed" by many thoughtful people, but it has benefited all mankind. Don't kill someone with a stick. Such a person has no intention! There is something to say, do not attack personally. In other words, do you support this imposed caller ID, or are you a beneficiary, or you are being or will be violated.

Xinhua netizens: I think the caller ID fee infringes on the consumer's "right to know" is the most important! First, there is a charge for caller ID. Now in China, the vast majority of mobile phones are two-way charging, that is, you have to pay for the call! Before you answer the phone (consumption), the distributor (telecommunications service provider) is obliged to provide consumers with the necessary product description (the other party's call number) for free! But now, telecom service providers have to charge caller ID fees, which obviously violates consumers' rights! I really don't understand. Those government departments would agree to this approach? ? !! !! Secondly, if the mobile phone is charged one way, then the caller ID fee is charged (consumers can choose to use or not) I think it is understandable!

Xinhua Netizens: Oppose Caller ID! Private phone numbers are only for people who you can trust; when you call them, people who have nothing to do will see your phone number next to you, just like opening your home address to a friend on the street Everyone next to me! In particular, customers who do not install Caller ID do not want to know the number of the person who called them. The people who call are generally related to themselves, and the phone companies that do not need to make money do more! No wonder my daughter kept asking for insurance calls after giving birth to her child. It turned out that my daughter's information hospital doctor had left a "caller ID" accident!

Operators show policy

The caller ID policies of the three major domestic operators are similar. Except for higher-cost packages such as Global Link, which are designated to include caller ID service, many low-cost packages do not include caller ID service, and they need to be activated separately. It is understood that many mobile companies in Shenyang, Changchun, Taiyuan and other places have local packages that do not include "Caller ID", and they need to pay additional fees for opening. And China Unicom's new package caller ID does not need to pay extra, including in the monthly rent. And most virtual operators are no exception. Most of the virtual operator's number cards claim to be "0 month rent", but this "0 month rent" is based on the absence of caller ID. Therefore, domestically speaking, there is almost no case of exempting the caller ID fee. ^[3]
